CP" Is not this beautiful ? It was contributed
to the “ Home Journal” by Mrs. T. H. Beverige,
of Galveston, Texas :
I saw a youthful mother.
Once on 3 summer day,
Set down a smiling infant
To watch it's frolic play ;
It gamboled on the flowerets
That decked the carpet o’er,
And seemed with childish wonder
Each object to explore.
A something on the instant
It’s glad career arrests.
And earnestly it gazes where
A golden sunbeam rests ;
While on the new found glory
It fixed its wandering eyes.
And trustfully reached forth his Land
To seize the glittering prize.
And now it’s tiny fingers clasp
The treasure rich aud rare,
Which in its baby innocence
It thought was surely there ;
But ah ! that band uncloses.
And to its earnest gaze
Reveals no gem of beauty—
No blight imprisoned rays !
And then the first of many tears
Fell on the cherub tace—
The first sad disappointment
In life’s uncertain race .'
And thus it has been with us all,
Who its dark game have played—
We've sought to grasp the sunshine,
And only found the shade.

THE NEW DEPARTURE.
The advocates of this doctrine have
never yet clearly defined their position,
save in the attacks made on the Dem
ocratic party, proper, by those men
who desire to become the leaders of
this new fangled dogma—each forget
ting that “he that troubleth his own
house shall inherit the wind, and the
fool shall be servant to the wise of
heart.”
When we come to examine these
new political aspirants we discover
men whose luck it has been to be al
ways either wrong or disappointed, who
have been accustomed to live upon
hopes and feed on despair, with here
and there some political upstart, strug
gling to rise to the surface, and not
caring whether he endeavors to swim
in a muddy stream or the concentrated
essen. es in a sink hole of unconstitu
tional iniquities.
Yea! verily; the mass of the new
departurists are men of an unsettled
disposition who have never truly allied
themselves with the real interests of
any section of the country further
than their own particular interests dic
tated, and thus it is not strange that
we trace the wanderings of one of
their leaders from somewhere to Atlan
ta, from Atlanta to Washington, trom
Washington to Idaho—and Voila, lie
is hack to Atlaria witn anew depar
ture flag hoisted.
“ When hespeaketh fair believe him
not.”
“ Whose hatred is covered by deceit,
his wickedness shall he shewed before
the ichole congregation.”
The Radical party is but the matu
rity of abolitionism, and as the aboli
tionists, in working out their plans, had
to adopt an emissary system with
secret societies) so the radical party is
but the growth of a band of political
emissaries. They commenced their
work on the negro after the war by
establishing their secret Union Leagues,
so-called. They have their grand Ar
my of the Republic, and organized as
they are, they drive on this New De
parture, hoping to destroy Democra
cy, by means, no doubt, of chosen
parties or spies, who are New Depart
ures.
The Radicals fear the true Consti
tutional Democracy ; they are striving
to destroy all constitutional landmarks,
and having ever worked upon politi
cal uncertainties they will yet create
(should the strong arm of the people
not withhold them) a luture as uncer
tain for this country as that of France,
with its mixture of communism, and
every other ism, well spiced with all
of the devil’s graces.
The Americans are credited as prac
tical, why then do they not take the
common-sense view of the situation
from one end of the land to the other?
The war is at an end, and Southern
people and Southern Democrats are
not such fools as to be ignorant of that.
Secession has departed for the present,
although no man can foretell the ac
tion of the future generations; per
haps with the growing poverty of the
South, the North will withdraw—who
knows!
The question for all true lovers of
constitutional liberty, North and South
is this: Shall we not forever fghl
against political corruption?
And now a tew words to Northern
people and Northern Democracy. The
For the Federal Union,
THE HAUNTED IIOUttK.
When I first moved to the county
of the settlements were few
and far between. It was sixteen
teen miles to the county cite, and only
one house intervening in all that dis
tance, about equi-distant from my
plantation to the town. The house
was not inhabited, and a more lonely
or desolate spot it has never been my
lot to behold. There had been a small
clearing of about ten acres around the
place, but long since it had ceased to
be cultivated, and was at this time all
overgrown with old field pines, fen
nel and the like, forming a dei se under
growth thicket that looked dreary
enough to make a man have sad
thoughts, if there had been nothing
else to act upon his mind or fancy.
The house was a double-pen log house,
slieded on each side, being two rooms
in the rear and a long piuza in front,
and had been no doubt a fancy log
house, but was now fast going to de
cay. The first time I ever passed it I
iiad a friend of mine with me who
was an old settler and knew all about
the country and the history of every
settlement. I was curious to know
something about this desolate looking
place, and he related to me its history
and what occurred to him there about
two years before, which is nearly as
follows:
“ Ten years ago a young man from
Virginia was parsing through this
country and stopped at this identical
house to stay all night. T! en it was
new and had just been erected bv a
young man in good circumstances who
had a short time before married one
of the most lovely of women. They
had been married about one year, and
the wife was sixteen years of age,
young, inexperienced, charming: So
thought the young Virginian. She
was one of those artless creatures,
who being pure themselves do not sus
pect any evil in the intentions of oth
ers. The Virginian was smitten with
her charms, and determined to make
a conquest. He was pleasing in de
portment and had all the polish that
travel aud being constantly in the best
ot society could give him. So he put
in with all his might and the unsophis
ticated wife fell. On the pretence of
resting and recruiting up he lay over
a week, the most ot which time the
unsuspecting husband was called away
from home attending to his stock out
in the range. By the end of the week
she had fallen, aud consented to a plan
to get rid of her husband by poison
ing him, which upon his return home
she did
the old front piazza and jumped lightly
down upon it from our horses, flashing
our lights through the half-open doors.
When the light penetrated the doors
the confusion became more confound
ed. We saw almost numberless white
aud motley colored objects moving to
and fro, and came very near being run
over as they crowded out through the
passage. I and my friend both laugh
ed outright, for it was a large flock of
sheep, a good many goats, and about
a dozen hogs, which had taken posses
sion of the ancient house and was
kicking up such a row.”
“I was, as you perceive, converted
to a belief in ghost, hobgoblins and the
like, and fell from grace all the same
night.”
Our Navy and the Grand Duke.
—It was once well saidju answer to a
sneer at the military ceremonials, that
“the best use which gunpowder could
be put to was to fire salutes.” We
are by uo means sure, now, when ev
erything is to be put settled by “arbi
tration,” and “birds of calm sit brood
ing on the charmed waves,” that the
best mode of employing “men of war”
is not to escort Mr. Peabody’s re
mains, to carry Dr. Newman and his
liyborean liturgies to Disco, and to
receive and welcome “Grand Dukes”
when they come to visit us. If this
innocent use be not made of them
they are apt—for Satan still tempts to
mischief idle naval men as much as
others—to bombard distant barbarians
and give trouble generally.
Hence, we hoped that when a com
plimentary visit to our shores was to
be paid, with the accompaniment of a
fleet, by the special representative of
a friendly Power, that the idle navy of
our country—such as is not occupied
in taking care of Baez and carrying
Cattell—would be on hand to wel
come the visitor. It seems, however,
that nothing of the kind is thought of.
Admiral Porter, we regret to know, is
suffering trom the podagric affectiou
which, time out of mind, afflicts naval
men, from Commodore Trunnion’s
days to ours ; Secretary Robeson is or
was preaching platitudes and dining
with his friends in Philadelphia, and
the Grand Duke Alexis is to be re
ceived by the New York Yacht Club.
A clumsy, second-rate frigate is at
anchor off the Battery, which when it
gets over the fatigue of going to
Greenland, may possibly man its yards
and fire a salute, and this is all the great
naval service of this country is able to
do ! It is, in our judgment, a posi-

Jubilant Over Ku Kluxism.—
When any evidence of the existence
of a Ku Klux organization is adduced,
the Administration organs clap their
hands joyously as if they had found a
gold mine. They are really glad
when they ought to be sorry—and
why are they glad ? Is it because
Ku Kluxism is a good thing in itself?
By no means. They aver, on the
contrary, that it is one of the very
worst things in the world. They are
glad because it gives them a pretext
for using troops to harrass and vex the
Southern people, for interfering with
the regular order of affairs, and for put
ting in motion all the machinery nec
essary to control the Presidential elec
tion. They feel that their party can
not rely upon its own strength and
popularity for success ; that the Ad
ministration, tested by its own merits,
is weak, and that it is necessary tu
create on alarm in the public mind of
the North in regard to the continuance
of a rebellious temper at the South.—
They would not be without the Ku
Klux for any consideration, and were
actually so much afraid that they |
could not find any that they began to ,
tremble. Their situation was so criti- |
cal that they determined that evidence !
of the existence of the order should 1
not be wanting, if by hook or crook it
could be obtained. The Administra- j
tion, acting under the direction of j
Morton, of Indiana, set traps and pit- j
falls and springs all over the South !
to catch Ku Klux. Congress co-oper-i
ating, appointed a committee to col- j
lect evidence on the subject. As noth- j
ing can be done in that virtuous party j
without money, a large sum was ap- : n , ,, ,v 1 G 11

by a party that is at open war with

The great principles of this country

Mrs. E. Cady Stanton is in love with
California. She recently said : “Cali
fornia is indeed the garden spot of our
country. No wint c is here—fruits
and flowers all the year round—the
geraniums that we nurse in little pots,
grow here eight feet high iu the open

genial climate, its hospitable people,
its thriving metropolis, with its mag

The disasters caused by kerosene recently in the
United States have been almost beyond number. I rum

upsetting of a kerosene lamp, they range down through
all grades of explosious, burnings and loss of life. So
long as the slightest trace of any explosive substance
remains in kerosene oil it is a dangerous article, and,
as no one is sure that the oil he buys is deprived of
this risk, too great care cannot bo exercised in hand

their days—so thought the deluded
wife—in peaceful, quiet and unalloy

After the murder had been committed
the deluded girl returns to her right
mind. It was too late, but she deter
mined to make all the reparation in
her power by giving herself and para
mour up to justice. The seducer
heard this with rage and mortification,
and swore she should do no such
thing, but that he would kill her first.
She persisting he carried out his threat
by plunging a dagger in her heart, and
while still dripping with her blood he
plunged it in his own, and ended his
life and evil deeds at once.”
“ Now,” continued my friend, “ this
is what has been told to me, and all of
the people of the neighborhood and
surrounding country assert that at the
anniversary of the time of the horrid
finale, their disembodied spirits revisit
the glimpses of the moon, and re-en
act the tragedy. Ol course I do not,”
said he, “believe in these things, but
you shall hear what happened to me
once just here. I had been to town
and my business prevented my return
ing until after night, and it was near
midnight when I reached this desolate
spot. My mind, of course, reverted at
once to what I had heard concerning
the house being haunted. I scouted
the idea, but could not help a feeling
of loneliness, and I will acknowledge
that a sort of timidity ac this time,
seemed to take possession of me. 1
tried to whistle it off, so I struck up a
tune and set my horse off in a canter,
but just as I was even with the house
I beard strange noises issuing there
from. I whistled louder, but the
noises grew stronger and the din ap
peared to my ears as if all pandimonia
had turned loose. I struck off in a
gallop, but the noise appeared to fol
low after me. I could feel my hair
nearly raising my hat from my head.
Just as I was getting my horse to his
best speed, suddenly I saw, just before
me a large white object obstructing
my road. I brought my horse to a
dead stand. I was now at a complete
loss what to do, and was badly fright
ened. A voice issued from the white
object, ‘John, where are you going,
what is the matter!’ Oh, joyful mo
ment. I recognized the voice. It
was one of my near neighbors that
was on his way to town, aiming to get
there by daylight to meet some par
ticular friends who wished him to
take a little trip with them. He was
riding his large white horse, i being
so excited could not distinguish in the
dark what it was, but imagined one of
the hobgoblins had intercepted me.
I was loath to explain to him why I
appeared in such a hurry and so much
excited, but at length I did so. He
treated the matter seViously, which I
was glad of. I feared—knowing him
as I did—that he would laugh at my
fears, and tell this on me as a good
joke. He persuaded me to return with
him to the house, and try to ferret out
the mystery if possible. So we pro
ceeded to get us a lightwood torch
apiece, and drawing our six-shooters
we proceeded cautiously toward tbe
house. On nearing it the same noises
met our ears. We continued to ad
vance, but I will confess it took all
the courage I was master of to keep
me moving forward. We rode up to
of our country and Russia, have been
intimate and peculiar.
Thirteen years ago, when, in one of
the Anglo-Chinese entanglements with
which every one is familar, the repre
sentative of this country found himself
for want of suitable facilities, depen
dent on the kindness and courtesy of
strangers, it was Russia which sup
plied them, and the Hags of the two
peaceful nations floated from the same
masthead. A Russian courier carried
the news of the American treaty
across the continent.
tstill later, when Farragut, our hero,
went to Cronstadt, every professional
honor was paid him. Fleets received
him. Frigate and line of battle ships
saluted him. It was riot left to dilet
tante mariners—the yacht clubs of St.
Petersburg—to greet him. Far be it
from us to say a word of disparage
ment of the New York yachtmen.—
They are dashing sailors. They run
their tiny crafts ashore less frequently
than do our captains, who are always
bumping on Nantucket shoals or Ital
ian reef. But practically, they are
helpless in a calm or a heavy down
pour of an autumnal rain, and if the
Russian squadron, now on its way,
should, on reaching Sandy Hook, find
either of these mospheric conditions,
dismal indeed will be the reception.
The Grand Duke might as well have
come in a Cunard steamer and land in
a tug boat. Can it be—we fear it is
that the Navy Department has not
at its disposal any ships that are sea
worthy, even for such a holiday cruise
as this ? The welcoming squadron
need not venture further seaward than
Fire Island in one direction, or Long
Branch in another, There would not
he much risk in this. If there be no
ships ready, is not the revenue service
available ? Mr. Murphy has, no doubt
a revenue cutter or two at command,
and the Grand Duke will not detect
the difference of the flags which float
over Admirals and Tidewaiters.
These are suggestions meant to meet
an unavoidable deficiency—and acci
dental inability. But then a grave
doubt shadows the mind whether, af
ter ali, this omission of decent cere
monial may not be intentional. The
atmosphere is full of rumors as to so
cial difficulties between our “Prime
Minister” and the excellent representa
tive of the Czar—that the recall of the
latter has been asked for, and that
Prince Gortschakoff paid as little at
tention to the request as he did to the
appeal for the Lutheran Livonians.—
Cau it be that the Secretary of Stabe,
a gentleman whom our ov^n experience
proves to be very resentful of trifles,
lias determined to .gratify his grudge
at the Russian Government by this
slight of its representative ? These
are puzzles we do not presume to
solve ; but this we know that as it
now stands, the whole affair is an
amazingly shabby one.— Washington

The worst of it is that the government, in the midst
of these overwhelming distresses, appears to be uot
only unable iu any way to relieve its suffering people,
but powerless to maintain its authority agaiuot domes

timony was obtained. If ail the need
les that have been lost in hay stacks
had been searched for as industrious
ly, they would have been found.
We do not mean to be understood
as affirming that there is no such or
der in existence. A mass of evidence
was elicited by the court at Raleigh,
which went to prove that it did exist
in some portions of that State. The
witnesses who proved this wore in
many instances Republican members
of the order. Whether or not they
joined it to betray it we cannot say,
nor can we say how much they were
paid for their testimony. According
to them, however, its proper name is
“The Invisible Empire,” and they tes
tified that it was not a political organ
ization, but that its object was pro
tection against lawless bands of des-
perauoes. thieves, burglars and mur
derers, and barn and house-burners.
Well, numbers were convicted and
sentenced to heavy fines and long
terms of imprisonment, while the
thieves, burglars, murderers and in
cendiaries, whose villainies led to tbe
organization of the order, were left un
touched.
Having, for the present, finished
with North Carolina, the Administra
tion is preparing to take the field in
South Carolina. The President has
issued his proclamation, and his satel
lites are itching to begin the crusade.
How many more of the States of
the South are thus to be invaded by
the Federal power,in order to strength
en the Radical party and to make cap
ital for the Presidential election, re
mains to be seen.—Richmond Whist.
The Bloom of Age.—A good wo
man uever grows old. Years may
pass over her head, but if benevolence
and virtne dwell iu her heart, she is
as cheerful as when the spring of life
first opened to her view. When we
look upon a good woman we never
think of her age ; she looks as charm
ing as when the rose of youth first
bloomed upon her cheek. That rose
has not faded yet; it never will fade.
In the neighborhood she is the friend
and benefactor. Who does not res
pect and love the woman who has
passed her days in acts of kindness
and mercy ? We repeat, such a wo
man cannot grow old. She will al
ways be fresh and buoyant in spirits,
and active in humble deeds of mercy
and benevolence. If tbe young lady
desires to retain the bloom and beauty
of youth, let her not yield to the sway
of fashion and folly ; let her love truth
and virtue, and to the close of life she
will retain those feelings which now
make life appear a garden ol sweets,
ever fresh aud ever new.
Many persons are in the habit of
sleeping for half an hour immediately
after dinner. This is a bad practice.
Ten minutes’ sleep before dinner is
worth more than au hour after dinner.
It rests and refreshes and prepares the
system for vigorous digestion. If
sleep is taken after dinner, it should
be in a sitting posture, a9 the horizon
tal position is unfavorable to healthy
digestion. Let those who need rest
and sleep during the day take it be
fore dinner instead of after, and they
will soon find that they feel better,
and that their digestion will be im
proved thereby.
100 Years Back.—Iu 1771, Sir
Walter Scott, the celebrated and fa
mous Scottish novelist and poet was
born. His last two poetical works
being a comparative failure, he aban
doned verse for prose. His works
written in prose have rendered his
name immortal, ranging among tbe
highest of authors ot all centuries.—
He was created a Baronet by George
IV*, King of England, but had to slave
at literature during the last years of
his life owing to the failure of a great
London house. He died September
21, 1832.
